Mr Chernoff was a true gentleman & a wonderful boss. I was honored to be his secretary, also at VFT&B. He'll never be forgotten! My condolences to you, his family.

I also worked at the "small law firm" with David. He was the young, brash lawyer, I was the new secretary, and we got along perfectly. He made work fun and rewarding for me and I'll never forget those days. And though I hadn't seem him for many years, I will always remember him fondly. My condolences to Loren and the family.

Dave was my landlord for two years, and it was a truly singular experience. He and Loren charged "what was fair" for rent - far under the market rate - and tended to their building and tenants with such care. My heart goes out to everyone in his life.

I was a young law student when I worked at David's law firm. Unlike some lawyers, who could be crass, he was erudite and courteous. He served as an excellent role model for a future attorney like me. I am glad I knew him.

Dear Loren and Family, We were so sorry to learn of David's passing. He was a good friend and will be missed by all of us. We will remember David in our prayers and Masses. Pat and Melissa Savage

I loved David. I worked at Vihon, Fuchs, Temple, & Berman when David was practicing law at that firm. I have always been grateful for his kindness and encouragement of my ambitious career trajectory. David lived his life as we all should --- with love and constant achievement making the world a better place.
